Hi,

I am currently using PDA: i900XXHJ6/ACHJ2  PHONE: i900BUHJ1  Vodafone official ROM and would like to know where is best to go from now.

Looking to lose such things as widgets / today1 and 2 and have as much free memory as possible.  I currently use SPB Mobile shell and would like to install this afterwards as hoping to try out SPBms3 when released.

Thanks

maybe u can try tarils rom..
DXIA2

[abu123]

use samsung original DXIA5 first, this is just recently come out.  More so if you haven't flashed before.

after you get a feel of it in terms of performance, baterry life,  etc then you can try others

sectors- spb mobile shell based
qbus -clean and m2d versions
taril - most of original apps - (I think he UPXes them so less storage mem usuage if so then probably use slightly more RAM to run the .dlls and .exe)

others cookers I haven't tried

IA5 is only available for a few countries singapore being  one of them with WWE (world wide english ) version

so download the singapore one from samsung website

but you need to change the phone to think its in singapore by doing the following as stated in the sticky post in rom section.

Quote

• Press the 'dial' key to the left of the optical pad to bring up the dialer
  
• With the onscreen keypad input *#1546792*#
  
• Select 'Preconfiguration'
  
• Enter code *#81230*# and select OK
  
• Select 'Singapore', with the default Operator
  
• Accept this, DEVICE WILL HARD RESET
  
• Run update, and all should be well.

I've got a vodafone omnia and I nearly bricked mine trying to flash an official rom upgrade.
I was rescued by "Lufeig" and am using his LF104b rom. Its stripped of most stuff and runs great, leaves a huge amount of free memory after flashing. It also uses grandprix to update which seems pretty straight forward.
Only advice I'd give is to use an xp machine to update and install samsung modem first.
I also use spb mobile shell.

It should be easy for you, first change the phone to UK (THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING!!!).

Second Change the version in the phone's registry (from ACHJ2 to XXHG1, XXHH1 or MSHH1)

Go to Samsung Website and take the UK version - enter MSHH1 to access the download page.

Install Samsung Modem and execute the UK firmware.

Also, before flashing, read the forum to learn more about the process - this may kill your phone.

I'm guessing your phone is UK already  (I am not sure how you would tell this, depends where you got your phone)??? so you might be able to skip step 1???? It's purely a guess though, but might get you onto another rom version. Only thing I would say is to take note of the changes you make, just in case. I had a funny with trying to change default volumes on mine, turned out the phone didn't like the commands coming from another dialler. There is a guy in the "incorrect software version tutorial" thread called Mick3y, seems to be the guy to talk to, he might be your best bet (he is the guy I quoted).
